Must
Have Features On Your Web Site
- Just
don’t focus on the home page, keywords and titles.
The
first step to sales when customers visit your site to see the
products they were looking for. Of course, search engine optimization
and
better rankings can’t keep your customer on your site or make them buy.
The
customer having visited your site, now ensure that he gets interested
in your
products or services and stays around. Motivate him to buy the product
by
providing clear and unambiguous information. Thus if you happen to sell
more
than one product or service, provide all necessary information about
this, may
be by keeping the information
at a different
page. By providing suitable and easily visible links, the customer can
navigate
to these pages and get the details.
- Understanding
Your Target
Customer
If you design a website you think will attract clients, but you
don’t really know who your customers are and what they want to buy, it
is
unlikely you make much money. Website business is an extension or
replacement
for a standard storefront. You can send email to your existing clients
and ask
them to complete a survey or even while they are browsing on your
website. Ask
them about their choices. Why do they like your products? Do you
discount
prices or offer coupons? Are your prices consistently lower than
others? Is
your shipping price cheaper? Do you respond faster to client questions?
Are
your product descriptions better? Your return policies and guarantees
better
than your competitor’s? To know your customer you can check credit card
records
or ask your customer to complete a simple contact form with name,
address, age,
gender, etc. when they purchase a product.
- Does your website give
enough contact information?
When
you sell from a website, your customer can buy your products
24 hrs a day and also your customers may be from other states that are
thousands of miles away. Always
provide contact information, preferably on every page of your website,
complete
with mailing address, telephone number and an email address that
reaches you.
People may need to contact you about sales, general information or
technical
problems on your site. Also have your email forwarded to another email
address
if you do not check your website mailbox often. When customer wants to
buy
online provide enough options like credit card, PayPal or other online
payment
service.
